9463.0. "LNC01 configuration problems" by FIRSC1::CECCHI () Thu Apr 10 1997 09:39


	Florence 10 April 1997


	Hi  

	I have installed a laser printer Colorwriter LSR 2000+
	in a TCP/IP environment, with alpha server running 
	Digital Unix4.0 B  .
	I heve configured the hosts file and the printcap as 
	specified by configuration chapter.
	The ping respond succesfully, but when I send a 
	a print command with lpr -Pcolorwriter , the answer is:
	"waiting for colorwriter to come up".

	Do you have any suggestion?

	Many thanks in advance.

Configure it as a remote printer with the parameters

    	Hi 
    
    	This is the printcap  I have configured
    
    
    	colorwriter|lp0:\
    
    	:lf=/var/spool/lpd/colorwriter/log:\
    	:lp=:\
    	:mx#0:sf:sb:\
    	:rm=colorwriter:\
    	:rp=xjprint:\
    	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/colorwriter:
    
    
    
    	I have created the spool directory as specified by the
    	procedure, and the log file.
                                                
    	In the networks there are 5 alpha station with Digital Unix 4.0 B
    	 and all work correctly with the  tcp/ip.
    	A node has been configured as Web Server and works fine .
    	The ping with the laser is O.K. ; its netmask is equal  with
    	the one of the hosts.
    
    	I don't understand where the problem can be.
    
    	Many thanks

9463.4A few more ideas ..VIRGIN::SUTTERWho are you ??? - I&#039;m BATMAN !!!Thu Apr 10 1997 12:006
What does 'lpq -Pcolorwriter' and 'lpc status colorwriter' give?
Can you post a 'ping colorwriter'? 

What FW does the LNC01 have loaded? Is it properly configured?
